The mayor was trying to show he has experience, it worked at times...it didn't at others. I thought he looked nervous and it really shows how long it's been since he's had to look next to him at a debate desk and see a viable candidate there. He's not used to answering tough questions, he really looked weak on the subject of schools and it showed by his red, sweaty face.

I thought Stacia did well, especially for a first time candidate. I thought she did a great job in taking the mayor to task on tax increases. However, she needs to come up with a few specific policy ideas. Right now she can only talk about what the mayor has done wrong, and that will earn her some votes in the coming election. But it's new idea's or some type of policy proposal that will WIN her the election.

Also I would be doing a great disservice if I didn't bring up the tactics of John Howell. Mr. Howell you have shown a unique inability to be fair and unbiased in this election. You write glowing piece after glowing piece about the mayor, and basically serve as his communications director. The fact you wouldn't allow the public to attend the debate is absurd. I'm sure you will do anything you can to get this mayor re-elected, so you and your old way of thinking friends can get whatever you want in the Rocky Point area with no objections. The problem is that you are supposed to be an objective journalist, your behavior is beneath the profession and a disgrace. It's one thing if you want to cheerlead for the mayor, but then let someone else write the articles, let somebody else ask the questions at the forum. I've said this once and I'll say it EVERYDAY on this comment page for the rest of time until you respond: You have lost your fastball sir, and your biased media shouldn't be tolerated by taxpayers of this city who deserve better. Exit stage right Mr. Howell, the people of Warwick deserve it!
